# PS2 keyboard

The PS2 keyboard driver is defined in `shelter/lib/include/devs/input/ps2.h` and implemented in `shelter/lib/src/devs/input/ps2.c`. This documentation only describes the public API, the one that is safe to access from external subsystems.

## Driver initialization

The PS2 is initialized using `sh_ps2_driver_init()`. The pre-requirement for this function include the keyboard input subsystem being initialized. Here is the exact procedure:
1) Disable interrupts for safety
2) Flush output buffer
3) Debug log status and config byte initial value
4) Disable keyboard and mouse PS2 ports
5) Reflush output buffer for safety
6) Disable both ports IRQs
7) Perform the PS2 controller self test
8) Enable port 1
9) Enable scancodes translation
10) Initialize driver internal state
11) Enable IRQ for port 1
12) Register interrupt handler for legacy IRQ1
13) Enable interrupts
14) Disable scanning
15) Reset leds state
16) Identify keyboard
17) Register PS2 keyboard to the keyboard input subsystem
18) Enable scanning

For the moments, commands responses handling and scancodes parsing is working but there are a few limitations:
- since we only parsed a few ACPI tables, we are unable to detect with certainty the presence of a PS2 controller. So the system consider that the PS2 controller is available and working and the keyboard device registered to the keyboard input subsystem will always be marked as present
- any error in the driver initialization will be interpreted as a failure of the boot process
- for the moment, we are unable to defer the leds state update when a scancode change the NumLock/CapsLock state, so these leds won't update

## API

A few additionnal functions are provided:
- `sh_ps2_disable_scanning()`: disable PS2 keyboard scanning
- `sh_ps2_enable_scanning()`: enable PS2 keyboard scanning
